Finely bound by Tout in full polished calf with triple gilt fillet richly gilt backstrip with green labels gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Vols. 1 and 3 rehinged tips bumped. Plates occasionally foxed but in general a very good copy internally with the bookplates of renowned M.D. J.A. Knowles Renshaw in each vol. and the very faded signature of Mrs Boolys July 1821 on each title-page. § First edition regular paper issue; first state of vol. 1 p. 27 and p.95 vol. 3. One of a very few books by Dibdin that went into a second edition. "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text being printed on India paper pasted-in are on separately inserted leaves . This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate . It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" Jackson. Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Jackson 48. Windle & Pippin A38a and A44. unknown

Major London 1824. First edition one volume issue. 100 large paper copies were issued in two volumes. Windle & A50a. Tipped-in after the upper free endpaper is an autograph letter from Dibdin signed and dated April 15 1814 with an integral address leaf to W. Godwin Bookseller franked by Earl Spencer in Bath. George John Spencer 2nd Earl Spencer 1758-1834 served as Home Secretary from 1806 to 1807. He was renowned for his vast and impressive book collection and was the instigator and first President of the Roxburghe Club the oldest society of bibliophiles in the world. Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 was also a founding member of the Roxburghe Club. Earl Spencer was Dibdin's patron for many years opening up the library at Althorp to Dibdin for cataloguing. The resulting Bibliotheca Spenceriana a Descriptive Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century and of Many Valuable First Editions in the Library of George John Earl Spencer is regarded as one of the most thorough and elaborate catalogues of a private library. In 1818 Spencer commissioned Dibdin to buy books for him on the continent a trip described in Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany 1821. Dibdin also wrote Aedes Althorpianae an account of Althorp giving many details of the library. The letter to Godwin is Dibdin's response to a request for a copy of Bibliotheca Spenceriana: 'Sir I understand you have solicited for a third copy of the B S as subscribed for last July - but am sorry to add that such third copy never came to my knowledge and there must have been a mistake somewhere. It is wholly out of my power to furnish you with it. I am Sir Your undeciphered T. F. Dibdin.' It is possible that the recipient could have been the writer and political philosopher William Godwin 1756-1836 widower of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. At the time of the letter 1814 Godwin was a bookseller and publisher in partnership with his second wife Mary Jane Clairmont. In 1805 Mary Jane and William Godwin opened a bookshop and publishing house M. J. Godwin & Co. Among other popular titles the firm published The Swiss Family Robinson and Charles & Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. The bookshop also known as The Juvenile Library specialised in literature for children. N unknown

1799Best.-Nr. 27328London: Drawn etch'd & pub.by Dighton Charing Cross April 1799 1799. The earliest recorded portrait of Thomas John Dibdin. NCBEL III 1129-30. One crease; in fine condition. Rare. Hand-colored etching 20.5 x 16.5 cm with the caption "Sans Souci Jun." With the portrait is the manuscript note: "This Portrait of myself / taken in the palmy days of white neckcloths and frills / when I was as you see rather younger than at present is presented / by Thomas Dibdin April 28 1841." Around the image of Dibdin are depictions of his plays and songs. A fine portrait of the actor and writer Thomas John Dibdin 1771-1841 who like the other famous thespian Dibdins was involved in the English theater from an early age. Thomas John was one of three illegitimate children of Charles Dibdin and actress Harriet Pitt and in his early years on stage he used the name "T. Merchant" and his writings were published anonymously a fact that the artist Dighton makes a playful reference to in giving the subject of his portrait the name "Sans Souci Jun." Charles Dibdin was the owner of the San Souci Theater in London. See the ODNB for both Thomas John and Charles Dibdin. (London:) Drawn, etch'd & pub.by Dighton, Charing Cross, April, 1799 unknown
